Plot Summary
America's favorite entertainer, Tim Allen, is at it again as commodities broker Michael Cromwell, king of the Wall Street jungle. With money, power, and an engagement to a beautiful fashion designer, he has it all. But when Michael travels to the Amazon to finalize the divorce from his first wife -- a jungle doctor -- she reveals that he also has a blowdart-shooting, giant-spider-carrying, 13-year-old son, Mimi-Siku. Cultures clash when Mimi is entrusted by his tribal chief to bring back fire from the Statue of Liberty. Back home in New York, Michael must somehow convince Mimi that pets are not for eating and it's not nice to chase people with your killer spider. But when Michael's partner (Martin Short) crosses a Russian mob boss in a coffee bean deal, Mimi and Michael must use all their jungle skills in a hysterical father/son rescue.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: For all his talent, Martin Short has been consistently snakebitten in his choice of movies, a streak now extended by Disney's Jungle 2 Jungle.
Rotten: Simple truths are often the most effective, but in this instance they are only banal and mildly amusing.
Rotten: Mildly caustic, sentimental and slow.
Rotten: Roughly half of Tim Allen's latest comedy is hilarious-stupid, and the rest is monotonous-stupid.

Jungle 2 Jungle
This movie was ok. It was unrealistic at time but besides that it was pretty good.
Underated movie! deserves recognition!
Honestly, this movie is quite funny. I can't believe that someone would EVER judge this as being awful. Coming from someone who doesn't hand out compliments willy-nilly, this movie really is funny, and both kids and adults will heartily enjoy. True, the story line is rather simple, but that's alright seeing as the jokes put in are rather clever.
